WELCOME TO THE TEACHER RESOURCE CENTRE

This resource centre has been designed to support teacher training and development and assist in the sustainability of the Bluearth program in schools.

You will find notes, video and information on the key elements of the program that will enhance your understanding and delivery. Each page has a drop down menu that contains information on the benefits of that particular activity. This information will assist you to choose appropriate activities to match the learning intention you have for that session.

In designing a session attention should be given to balance and the spectrum of experience we would want for our group. High energy activity would be balanced with the more subtle end of the spectrum, group activity contrasted with individual challenges and partner work and so on. Our tendency is often to stick with the familiar and comfortable - it is important that we accept the challenge and be prepared to explore the unknown.

The Bluearth activities and postures that are currently described represent a cross section of the fundamental elements of the program. Activities are inclusive and largely non competitive - with the focus being on each individuals experience during the session. Providing the opportunity for giving and receiving feedback is an important aspect of any session - encouraging participants to reflect on their participation and notice what happened for them is where significant learning can take place.

Core Movement and the other subtle elements facilitate this self discovery - attention to balance, alignment and breath helps bring awareness within and allows self learning and discovery to emerge.

The Teacher Resource Centre will continually be updated and added to so we encourage you to visit regularly. Additional movents and postures will be described and a section on challenging behaviours and class management is planned.

Using this resource as an adjunct to your Bluearth Manual, workshops and coach visits builds on the suite of support available to you.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Enjoy your journey.
